ghould it be desired to stop the spindle, as when the yarn breaks and the broken ends are to be joined. the operator disengages the clutch and applies hand pressure to the top of the ilyer. The broken ends having been joined, the operator releases the fiyer, so that the friction drive is restored and the spindle quickly picks up speed. The operator then manipulates the cranked rod so that the clutch is ire-engaged and the spindle is driven through the clutch.

As clearly shown in Fig. 5, the cam edge of the rail K terminates in horizontal portions or ledges whereby the cranked upper end i of the rod is supported in its limit ing positions.

Referring to Figs. 6 to 9, it will be seen that in the modification therein illustrated there is feathered on the spindle Br a cone U slidable on the spindle. rests on a bush flange O which in turn rests on the lower hearing 0 The arrangement of the gearing G, p and clutch devices E, p, 7? is the same as in the construction of Fig. l; the clutch operating device of Figs. 6 to 9 differs however from that of Figs. 1 to 5 as will ap pear from the following explanation.

Bolted to the upper wall of the casing B is a block T pivoted to which at 'l is an arm Z having a laterally projecting tooth Z. Suspended from the arm Z by means of a washer and split pin is the rod R by which in turn is supported by means of a washer and-split pin the clutch fork F.

M denotes a slidable operating handle of receives f a, u shape having an. arm. slidable in a bush This cone U which in turn lifts the rod R friction ail engagement T integral with the block T and engageable with the under side of the tooth Z.

When the handle M is pushed inwardly it engages the tooth and lifts the arm Z and effects disengagement of the clutch.

lVhen the clutch is disengaged, the spin- (lle Br continues to be driven due to the with the cone U. If resistance is offered to rotation, the spindle B7 is brought to rest.
